Track 1 Collaborative Research: Partnership to Enhance Diversity in Marine Geosciences: Holocene Climate and Anthropogenic Changes from Long Island Sound, NYA project based on multidisciplinary investigations of Long Island Sound is being used as a vehicle to enhance diversity in geosciences. The project includes a curriculum centered on geoscience with substantial field and laboratory components. As part of the field component, students participate in a one week oceanographic expedition to Long Island Sound that is designed to illustrate the dominant physical processes in an urban coastal area by using a variety of oceanographic mapping techniques, such as multibeam bathymetric mapping, sediment and water sampling, and current profiling. The working hypothesis for the project is that City of New York students will be attracted to geosciences after participating in an integrated field and research experience that familiarizes them with their environment and introduces them to solving geoscience problems in a hands-on manner in a supportive environment where students are mentored on a one-on-one basis. The main scientific objectives of the project are: 1) to evaluate the impact of anthropogenic activities through studies of water, plankton, and sediments; and 2) to assess long-term climatic variability (during the last 10,000 years) through studies of sediment samples and acoustic imagery of the seafloor. Secondary objectives are to assess the risk of contamination due to anthropogenic activities, propose measures for remediation, and begin to evaluate long-term climatic patterns for the region. During this project, students are being trained in marine data acquisition and introduced to techniques commonly used by geoscientists and environmental scientists. The field experience and curriculum in coastal marine sciences developed through this project are expected to motivate and prepare students to pursue careers in the geosciences, environmental science, and geoscience education. The students are guided to participate in summer internships to strengthen their involvement in geosciences. A long-term goal is to use the strategy developed and repeat the field program every two years to integrate the Long Island Sound research-education experience to the core geoscience curriculum at Queens College and other CUNY colleges. The data collected forms the basis of a unique time-series that builds over time and is used for educational purposes at CUNY colleges and by visitors to the NSF sponsored Digital Library for Earth System Education.

轨道1合作研究：加强海洋地球科学多样性的伙伴关系：长岛海峡的全新世气候和人为变化，纽约大学基于长岛海峡多学科调查的项目正被用作加强地球科学多样性的工具。该项目包括一个以地球科学为中心的课程，有大量的实地和实验室组成部分。作为现场组成部分的一部分，学生参加为期一周的海洋考察长岛声音，旨在说明在城市沿海地区的主要物理过程，通过使用各种海洋测绘技术，如多波束测深测绘，沉积物和水的采样，和电流剖面。该项目的工作假设是，纽约市的学生将被吸引到地球科学参与后，在一个综合的领域和研究经验，使他们熟悉他们的环境，并介绍他们解决地球科学问题，在一个支持性的环境中，学生在一对一的基础上指导动手的方式。该项目的主要科学目标是：1）通过对水、浮游生物和沉积物的研究，评估人类活动的影响; 2）通过对沉积物样本和海底声学图像的研究，评估长期气候变化（在过去10 000年中）。第二个目标是评估人类活动造成的污染风险，提出补救措施，并开始评估该区域的长期气候模式。在该项目期间，学生们正在接受海洋数据获取方面的培训，并学习地球科学家和环境科学家常用的技术。通过该项目开发的沿海海洋科学的实地经验和课程预计将激励和准备学生从事地球科学，环境科学和地球科学教育的职业。指导学生参加暑期实习，以加强他们对地球科学的参与。 一个长期目标是使用制定的战略，并重复每两年一次的实地计划，以整合长岛湾的研究教育经验，在皇后学院和其他城市大学的核心地球科学课程。收集的数据形成了一个独特的时间序列的基础，随着时间的推移而建立，并用于纽约市立大学的教育目的，并由美国国家科学基金会赞助的地球系统教育数字图书馆的访问者。
